Hot 100 Fast Facts: P!NK has the rest seeing red as she claims her 14th #1 single
It’s a momentous week on the TMN Hot 100 for two of the music industry’s biggest female stars.
P!NK claims her 14th #1 single on the chart as ‘What About Us’ eclipses Liam Payne’s ‘Strip That Down’ ft. Quavo after a solid run of six weeks at the top. Her first ever #1 dates back to a decade ago, when ‘Who Knew’ was the top dog for a solitary week.
No other artist has had more #1s than P!NK on the Hot 100 since its inception in 1993.Delta Goodrem (eight) andRihanna (six) pale in comparison to P!NK, whose longevity is still easily outstrippingthe competition.
If that wasn’t a big enough story, Taylor Swift has achieved the highest ever debut in Hot 100 history landing at #2. ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ beats the previous record held by Harry Styles’ ‘Sign Of The Times’ at #3.
When Swift isn’t setting Hot 100 records, she’s topping the Most Added chart. At #1 with 75 additions, the adds it received dwarf anything else at radio for the week.
The last time Swift appeared on the Most Added chart was with ZAYN on their collaboration track ‘I Don’t Wanna Live Forever’.
Shawn Mendes sees a slight resurgence to #6 this week as Justin Bieber & Bloodpop’s ‘Friends’ climbs 13 spots to nestle itself in the Top 5.
There are small falls across the Top 10 this week with DJ Khaled’s ‘Wild Thoughts’, Niall Horan’s ‘Slow Hands’ and Rita Ora ‘Your Song’ all slipping towards the edge of the top tier.
On its second week, Latin remix ‘Reggaeton Lento’ by Little Mix and CNCO rises up half the chart from #91 to #43 and is also this week’s Heatseeker.
